    Cálico Electrónico

    Cálico Electrónico: La Serie Flash was a series of Flash animations created by Nikodemo Animation in 2004. Set in 'Electronic City', its protagonist is a superhero far from the 'classic' hero profile: a short, chubby and not-powered Spanish man ('aspañol' as is called in the series). He risks his life time and again to save the city, using gadgets picked up at the Electronicaweb store. A chapter usually develops this way: a monster or a criminal attacks the city, Cálico tries to stop it (always unsuccessfully), goes to Electronicaweb, gets a new gadget and saves the day. Some "bloopers" are displayed during the credits, at the end of the episode. Although the series displays many humorous events, the episodes include much Spanish foul language, so viewer discretion is advised. Even though Cálico is the main character, many side series have run with it, featuring many characters from the original series.
